Description
EU FAST focuses on the assessment of foreshores, including soil stability parameters (soil type,
erodibility, grain size, roughness), vegetation, and foreshore morphology using satellite imagery, as
well as wave dissipation across the foreshore to be used in a foreshore assessment tool MI-SAFE.
A series of Work Package 5 Deliverables have previously outlined the model needs, potential and
limitations of MI-SAFE and examples of the processing workflow for the data within the EU FAST
project. This deliverable reports the complete dataset that is now available for all eight case study
sites (four from Year 1 and four from Year 2) on the project repository. This now allows WP5 of the
FAST project to establish a full validation of the modelled wave dissipation and wetland
characteristics and stability from EO information (calibrated through direct field measurements of
the soil, vegetation, topographic and hydrodynamic characteristics reported here). In addition to
allowing the building of the MI-SAFE tool, this data serves as an illustration of the outputs of the
advanced version of the tool that are possible to achieve where field conditions are well defined.
As such, it sits at the core of the FAST project.
